Jeff Stewart living out Luke 5:26: "No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old."

The Progression of Truth

This will be short and sweet and without any clear resolution. It may come across as "fuzzy." But I like what Leonard Sweet says: "Fuzzy is good."

What I would simply would like to do is to pursue the question "Does pure truth have a progressive nature?" Then I would like to look at one passage from the Gospel of John that narrates a critically important teaching of Jesus. It is found in chapter 16; verses 12 & 13:

"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."

I'm going to parse the concepts of each word in the second half of verse 12 (highlighted above). I will use the Greek characters, the phonetic provision, and the lexicon (not to be confused with a short little Irish man) rendering. Then I wonder if you don't reach the same I conclusion that I do.

πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας ὁδηγήσει ὑμᾶς εἰς πάσαν τῆν ἀληθείαν
pneuma tēs alētheiashodēgei humas eis pasan tēn alētheianSpirit the TruthGuideYou (pl)TowardEntirety(of) the Truth
What do you conclude? Pure truth looks to have a sole custodial aspect. What does that imply? Is there any containment beyond biblical documentation?

I'm aware of the systematic theological can of worms here, but I have come to the belief that Jesus provides necessary continuity to our search for God and "the Kingdom."

My apologies to those who may be perplexed with this post. Maybe they're be a sequel - and then again...

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
